Description

Method and device for preparing superfine atomic force microscope metal probe
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of micro-nano manufacturing, in particular to an in-situ preparation method and device of a single metal probe of a controllable superfine atomic force microscope.
Background
An Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) is a micrometer-scale precision mechanical measuring instrument invented by Binning et al in 1986, and an AFM probe is one of key components for realizing precision measurement and mainly comprises a substrate, a micro-cantilever and a needle tip at the free end of the cantilever, wherein the micro-cantilever is extremely sensitive to weak Force. When the sample is scanned, the probe and the surface of the sample are close to each other, and the interaction force between the probe tip atoms and the sample surface atoms is rapidly increased along with the reduction of the distance between the probe tip atoms and the sample surface atoms, so that the cantilever beam generates tiny displacement. This small displacement is detected and used as feedback to keep the force constant to obtain the change in position of the microcantilever corresponding to the points scanned, and finally to obtain an image of the surface topography of the sample. The atomic force microscope can analyze the surface appearance of a sample on an atomic scale, can also carry out atomic etching processing on the surface of the sample, and plays a great role in the fields of physics, chemistry, materials science, life science, microelectronic technology and the like.
As a core component of atomic force microscopy, the physicochemical properties and geometry of the AFM probe tip will significantly affect the final imaging quality.
The conventional AFM probe mainly comprises silicon, silicon nitride, carbon nanotube and other materials. Among them, the micro-cantilever-tip integrated structure formed by processing silicon or silicon nitride by etching, sputtering deposition and other techniques is the most common. However, silicon and silicon nitride materials have low reflectivity in the visible and near infrared, and usually a metal layer needs to be plated on the cantilever to improve the reflectivity, so that the radius of curvature of the tip is large, and the situation of the bottom of the atomic-scale structure is difficult to directly observe. Moreover, such conventional AFM probes are generally pyramid-shaped or cone-shaped, have large diameters, are brittle, and are easily broken. However, the carbon nanotube has the advantages of small diameter, good flexibility and the like, but the angle and the length-diameter ratio of the probe cannot be controlled by the current main preparation method (including a growth method, a pickup method, an electrophoresis method, a mechanical manipulation method and the like) of the carbon nanotube AFM probe, so that a single high-quality probe is difficult to obtain. Therefore, a new high-quality AFM probe preparation method is needed.

Example 1
As shown in fig. 3 and 5.
(1) Preparation of metal fracture end 2 by physical shearing
After a tungsten metal wire with the diameter of 0.25mm is subjected to ultrasonic treatment in an ethanol solution for 10min, the tungsten metal wire is flattened by a vice and is cut off by a pair of scissors, at the moment, a large number of small bulges with nanometer sizes are formed on the section of the front end of the metal wire to form a rough surface with nanometer levels, namely a metal cut-off end 2, and a large number of small bulges with nanometer sizes are formed on the front end, and the shapes and the orientations of the small bulges are different.
